And so, when I stopped smelling and touching 😉 , I began cutting and I can’t stop! And I created this layout:

I took the beautiful hemisphere map for the background, matted my photo with various papers and added some paper straws for dimension:

…the flower cluster with a metal charm:

…and made my title using foam metallic gold sticker letters. I also hand-cut some tags and added pieces of signature strips from papers – I love including them in my projects 🙂

I really like the way it turned out, but I had so much fun working with this collection I couldn’t just stop after one layout 😉 And so I made another one:

For a change, I used the other hemisphere for the background 😀 And started to embellish the photo. I had this “love key” for ages and finally the time has come to use it 🙂

There’s also the flower cluster with tags and signature strips:

…and a somewhat longish title 😉 using foam letters. A tip for you: if you want your small letters pop out of the patterned background, trace them around with a fine pen 🙂

It may be a little difficult to notice, as the two maps are on two sides of the same paper – but if you have two of them you’ll see the two hemispheres match perfectly! And soooo….I combined my two layouts to make my first double page ever! 🙂
